question on char driver mmap
I have a need for a device driver to map a page of memory between interrupt handlers and userspace. It's been suggested that I use something like the following code (simplified):
unsigned long mypage;
int my_mmap(struct file *filp, struct vm_area_struct *vma)
{
unsigned long offset = vma->vm_pgoff << PAGE_SHIFT;
if (offset & ~PAGE_MASK)
return -ENXIO;
mypage = __get_free_page(GFP_KERNEL);
SetPageReserved(virt_to_page(mypage));
remap_page_range(vma->vm_start, virt_to_phys((void *) mypage),
PAGE_SIZE, vma->vm_page_prot);
return 0;
}This seems to work. If I do this, however, do I need to hook into the munmap() file operations to handle unmapping, clearing the reserved bit, and freeing the page, or will the memory subsystem do it for me?
Thanks,
Chris
